Instead of writing this blog I should actually be reading my homework for Communication class but what fun is that? So, fall semester has started and I'm taking 15 credit hours! A lot for working part-time also but I'm looking forward to graduating next spring, which I'm pretty excited about it but also very nervous. Hopefully I will find a job and can move into my own place (another scary thought!). I feel pretty strongly about my artwork and ability to be in Graphic design through comparing myself to other people in my classroom and just overall the professors seem to like my work.
Nothing really new with work, same old same old. Meshia went off to college and we hired a new aide, Kaylee. She's pretty sweet, we can relate on a lot of topics and I'm looking forward to hanging out with her sometime! Also I'm planning on doing a photography session for the Friends of the Library. They're doing a cemetery tour of people buried at the Riverside Cemetery, sounds odd but it's really neat. They pick certain historical people and tell their life stories, which can get quite interesting!
Family wise everyone is doing fine. Kendra has grown so much, she can walk and somewhat talk now! Went to Ludington, MI last month and that was pretty fun, wasn't really too motivated to do anything though that whole week - guilty! I did read a bunch of books though, hehe. Can't really think of anything else right now to mention - until next time =]

Today I had to work which was alright, I worked with Tina. It was her birthday and so we got some cheesecake, yumm! After work Mom and I got ready to go to the City of Alma Christmas party at the Elks Lodge. We talked for a little then left. It was funny because going into the place we were right behind Lorrie and Rod. Was like hey guys!! We signed in and I got this little bad that can keep stuff warm or cold, its nice. We found a table to sit at and so it was just the four of us. Later Carl (Tech guy at library) came and sat down with us along with another elderly couple. Apparenltly they knew my Grandpa. Meredith was suppose to come to the party, she said she's been wanting to go since she was little. We seen her Mom and she told us that Meredith wasn't coming because they couldn't stay with her. Lorrie and I was like well we're here o.O.. so she didn't come. We got some snacks that they had out like a cheese and cracker tray and then veggies and dip. They started to dismiss tables for dinner and we thought we were going to be last even though we were right by the tables lol. Eventually we got to go stand in line and got our food. There was swiss steak, chicken, mashed potatoes, rolls, and cake. I looooved the mashed potatoes, it was nice because we got to serve ourselves. I got some really yummy chocolate cake. The guy who knows my Grandpa went and got me another piece even though I said not to, haha was just like ugh ok >.< 50 ="P.">
Wooot today was Election Day =D!!! I went to school dressed in red white and blue, it was cool. We had mock elections also at school to where everyone could vote. Turns out that Barack Obama won for president at school and Nancy Gallagher (Meredith's Mom) won for district judge! I went to work and decided to park further out that way people that came to vote wouldn't park next to me and ding my car up. It was hilarious, Kyle lost a bet with one of our patrons, who is a State fan, that Michigan would beat State. So as a result Kyle had to wear a Michigan State shirt all day while he worked. Every time someone that liked state that knew Kyle hated state they would tease him about it and he would turn bright red!! Later Brian came out and asked if I knew what was going on down by the river because there was a policeman walking around down there and there was kind of a group of bystanders watching from the sidewalk. I said I had no clue and just kept working. Well around 6:20p.m. I was working on typing up slips for Brian when a cop came in. I first thought that he just wanted to ask questions and see if we seen anything or whatever. He asked me if I knew so and so, which was my Mom!!! First thought that came to my mind was, what happened to her?! or is it Ryan?!..so I was like yeah that's my Mom. He was like,"OK, so you drive the car?" I'm like yeah its mine. He's like,"Well unfortunately someone backed up into it". I was like...oh..my..gosh! Of course I ask is it bad and he says yeah its bad. Images fly through my head of it being a total wreck and you know being un-drivable which made me all upset and I think I made him feel bad because he obviously picked the wrong answer, lol. Lorrie came out and was listening to what was going on and when I got all upset she was like it'll be OK Meggie!! aww Lorrie ^^! I went and got my license so he could look at it and went outside to go see the damage. As we were walking out to my car I calmed down a little and he goes,"hmm I know your brother, Ryan (from seeing my last name). I've had a few encounters with him". I'm like," Oh gosh yeah, haha. I'm nothing like him!" That made us both laugh. Went out there expecting something way worse that it really was. All that was damaged was there was a dent in my bumper that is really deep and about 3 inches in diameter, eep. Then my trunk lid has a big dent all the way across it and scraps all on my fender with chipped paint and dents. He had just missed my tail lights thank goodness. I'm going to take some pictures of it so I might post them lol. He asked what insurance company I have and I said Progressive I think but wasn't sure. Had to go back in and get my keys so I could open my car (would of been logical to do that in the first place but meh). He checked it all out and said that I'm good and that I can pick up a police report tomorrow. Said thanks (hope I did at least!) and went back inside where I debated on calling Mom. I didn't want to get upset again so I decided not to. The rest of the night was pretty quiet from then on and went by relatively fast. Drove my poor wounded baby home and parked her in the driveway. Went in and walked in their bedroom where I go,"So did they call you yet?" they're like uh...who? "the cops" no? "well...someone backed up into my car and damaged my bumper/trunk..." I got all upset again and it sucked! I mean it could of been way worse, but being this is my most expensive thing I own (bank owns it really but you know what I mean), having it damaged when I've only had it not even 4 months. I told them the story and everything and then Mom wanted to come out and see it. She looked it over and said it'll probably all have to be replaced. The police know who hit my car because from what the cop told me the guy felt really bad and called in. I guess what happened was that he was using his company's vehicle and it had a trailer on it, he was backing up and just saw the empty spots on either side of me and just backed right up hitting me! Hopefully the guys company will pay for it or his insurance. My poor car!!!! =[...
As for who won the presidency, Barack Obama and for who won the district judge, Stewart MacDonald. Not so big on Barack but we'll see what he has to offer. I'm glad that Stewart got it but also I feel really bad because that was Meredith's Mom and her whole family worked hard to campaign and everything.

Today was the Powder Puff game and I was pondering if I wanted to go or not. Considering that I've never been to a Powder Puff game made me decide to go. It's my Senior year and I hope to do everything possible like games and such. I'm not going to the Homecoming dance though, I went my Freshmen year? and it was boring none the less. Hopefully though I can get Mike to go to the Homecoming game with me... Ok so I was a bit nervous about parking because I normally park on the West-side of the South parking lot near the exit so that way I have an easy time of getting out. I ended up parking on the East-side of the South parking lot because it is much closer to the football field. Corbin Lott pulled up next to me and so we chatted for awhile, he was going to the basketball game I guess. I made my way over to the field and when I was about there it had started to sprinkle a little bit, I thought..oh great. Also I was a little disappointed that I had forgotten my camera at home, I wanted to get some pictures argh! Oh well so I walked up to the gates, well it didn't look like anyone was at the ticket booths, I automatically thought, "Huh I guess it's free" well as I went into the gates I seen some boxes of canned foods and then I realized that they take canned food donations as kind of your entry. Ryan(Junior) handed me a pamphlet and didn't even say anything about me not having a canned food, phew! I felt kind of bad though that I forgot, guess I could of donated a dollar or something since I thought I had to pay. I went into the bleachers and looked for someone that I recognized so that I could hang out with them. The first person I spotted was Tyler Ackerman. I went and sat by him for a little while and then he left to go get some hot chocolate. I spotted Brittany's parents so I went and sat by them, lucky me I got to sit on a blanket so my butt wasn't as cold =D! We chatted a little and watched the game. It was hilarious watching the guys that were cheerleaders being stupid. At halftime Heather and Brittany came up and sat with us, they were in short shorts and lemme tell you, it was freeeeeezing! We won of course and then the after party they had a bonfire. Although it was half burned out because they lit it 2 minutes before the game even ended. We did some pep rally stuff and warmed up by the fire then went to go get some free cider and a donut, yum yum. After that we left, Britt went with Heather and I walked back to my car (I need the exercise). I absolutely loooove driving, I had my Ipod and I cranked up some music, gotta rock out you know!
School is going alright I suppose, I'm a little bummed out that Amanda isn't coming for Halloween. Another holiday by myself..Aunt Debbie is thinking about coming for Thanksgiving (its about time). Chemistry is going alright, we tested the water samples for the Pine River Monitoring Project today, Briana and I tested for chloride. Art is going good, Stephanie is great as ever and just pops stuff out of her head. I'm now working on this fox thing which looks really good for what I've done. Advance IT is incredibly boring right now...we're working in HTML and it is that kind of work that is just brainless work. It is kind of fun but there is no thinking involved, you get to the test though and it is like..where did this come from? Co-op is fine also, Mom is wondering why I'm getting less hours than Meredith though because I'm on Co-op. I don't know, its nice to not work but I do need a little bit more hours.
I only worked until 5:30 today which was fine for me, I was getting a headache. It was cool because Brian wanted me to type up Order slips for books. About a week ago I typed some up but this time I had to program the typewriter myself. I'm weird I know, but it's something new for me so I finally figured out how to get it so I am able to do it effectively. I thought I was getting so good that in once instance I thought I was going to press 'Play' and then '1' so that the typewriter does what I programed it to do, well instead I pressed the 'Delete' and then '1'. So...I deleted what I had programed, nooooo!!!! Oh well I just had to start over and reprogram it. Tomorrow I'll probably have to reprogram it again so I can type up another order. Call me weird but I loooove typing, give me something to type and I'll do it. Although sometimes it is quite annoying when I can't read what is writen and so I have to go look it up, ugh! That's about all the excitement for the day~

Plain and easy, end of the semester exams. I only had one but it was Math, about the worst subject on the whole planet. I'm interested to see how my grade turns out, I believe I got a C last marking period and a B- this marking period but with the midterm and final exam I'm not so sure. It's a relief to not have math ever again in high school! What's stupid is that we only had two classes today, our first block and second but we had them for three hours each. BORING. I exempted out of my second block which I'm so glad, I probably would of had a hard time on it like I did math. Out of the whole 50 questions I'd say that I knew maybe, for sure, 10-15. Doesn't look so good I hope he puts a curve on it =]. So after math I got to go home where I relaxed till it was time to go to work at 3:30. Work was ok but it bites because not even going through one full day with my pedometer I had lost it from sometime between going from my 4th block to the car. I might end up buying one if they're cheap, meh. Anyways going back to the stupid three hour classes. It's so lame because all the teachers I have (except math) don't even really use the hour and a half set aside for whatever. So we're all just wasting our time sitting there bored.
I found out today at work that I had gotten a raise. More or less I think minimum wage just went up so it wasn't just me individually, no matter it's still a raise =D, it's something like $7.60/hour or something. I also had gotten a letter in the mail saying that because I filed taxes that I "qualify" for the stimulus check totally a grand, $300! Still can't wait until Hooray!
